Ahead of the 2026 General Election, we sent questionnaires to all candidates for Mayor, Delegate to the House of Representatives, D.C. Council Chair, D.C. Councilmember, and Attorney General. These responses have been provided by the candidates and have not been edited by us.
The ACLU-D.C. is a nonpartisan nonprofit. We do not endorse candidates, and these responses are for voter education only. We want every eligible voter to cast an informed vote.
Voting is one of our most fundamental rights, and the general election is on November 3, 2026. However you plan to vote, make civil rights and liberties a priority when you cast your ballot this fall. For more information on how to vote, visit our voter hub.
